The increasing demand and exorbitant use of river bed sand in foundries over the years have led to its depletion at an alarming rate. Consequently, many states India imposed severe restrictions on mining riverbed sand. Therefore, effort is made explore potential sea for cast iron foundry applications. Experiments were performed optimizing composition molding with respect functional properties n...

Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was used to determine the bulk metal elemental composition of 62 modern bronze sculptures cast in Paris in the first half of the twentieth century from the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As a result, a comprehensive survey of the alloy composition of the sculptures of many promine...

Much has been written about fume fever (brass caster's ague, zinc chills, zinc shakes), and lead poisoning in brass foundries has been dealt with recently by Stalker (1947) and Hamlin and Weber (1947), but the references to pulmonary fibrosis amongst non-ferrous foundry workers are few. Stalker wrote that " the incidence of advanced silicosis has been generally low among [brass] foundrymen ". M...

In the early phases of the product life cycle, the costs controls became a major decision tool in the competitiveness of the companies due to the world competition. After defining the problems related to this control difficulties, we will present an approach using a concept of cost entity related to the design and realization activities of the product. We will try to apply this approach to the ...

The main components of molding sand used in casting are sand, clay and water. composition the has a great influence on properties casting. In order to obtain high-quality castings, it is important manage that affect such as especially green compression strength compactability. this work, compactability predicted through machine learning technique using processing data obtained from foundry inpu...
